Partnering with Perikatan puts BN at a disadvantage - superadmin - 11-21-2022 KUALA LUMPUR – Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s statement tonight that no agreement has been made to form a government with Perikatan Nasional (PN) confirms rumours swirling that BN is not doing a deal with PN yet. Sources told The Vibes that BN, which has 30 seats now, is not jumping at the immediate opportunity to collaborate with PN as remaining in the government while doing so will have a long-term impact on plans to rejuvenate the coalition. BN lost 49 seats from the 79 it won in 2018. “Many of these seats were lost to PN, so if they were to cooperate with PN, how are they going to retake the seats they lost? “If they join forces with Pakatan Harapan (PH), they can govern and also prepare to retake the lost seats in the next general election of GE16,” said a highly-placed source earlier today. - More -
